10. Investment Performance

Potential investors should note that investments can involve significant risks and the value of an investment may go down as well as up. The Investment Products on this Site typically use alternative investment strategies and may invest in derivatives of any kind. The prices of futures, options and other instruments in which the products may invest may fall in value as rapidly as they may rise and it may not be possible to liquidate the positions in the relevant markets before a loss is sustained. Price fluctuations may be substantial because of leverage. No assurance can be given that the investment objective of any Investment Product will be achieved or that substantial losses will not be suffered. There is no guarantee of trading performance and past or projected performance is not necessarily a guide to future results. Movements in exchange rates between currencies may affect the value of an investment.

11. Estimated performance information

The estimated performance and/or valuation/NAV data ("Data") is based on estimated valuations or net asset values calculated by the administrator or by Woodman or a Woodman group company and may vary materially from the official valuation or net asset value and consequently are not the price at which shares/bonds/notes (or such other issued instrument) can be subscribed or redeemed.

Neither Woodman or any of its affiliates, the Investment Products (or the issuers of such products), any official valuation calculation agent nor any other service provider in respect of any product to which the Data relates make any representation or warranty regarding the accuracy of the Data nor accept any liability whatsoever in connection with the provision or your use of the Data. Any reliance on the Data is entirely at the user's risk.

Please note that interests in the Investment Products may only be purchased or sold in accordance with the terms of the prospectus issued by the Investment Products (or the issuers of such products) and the price the issuer of such product may quote may be materially different from the valuations set forth herein. Official valuations or net asset values might be subsequently published on woodman.ch when finalised (and such other media or electronic platform as may be outlined in the relevant prospectus) and may be significantly different from the Data.

Potential investors should note that alternative investments can involve significant risks and the value of an investment may go down as well as up. There is no guarantee of trading performance and past performance is not necessarily a guide to future results.
